Knicks · Game Thread: Knicks at Bucks (The Ghost of Christmas Past) - 8 pm ET (page 4)

Kornet played 16 minutes. Kanter 8.

Fiz is trying to stretch things because going to the rack has been quite fruitless for most of the team.

I know he has game around the rim and can rebound...but all of those "pros" come against particular opposition as his negatives become magnified and we get punished badly otherwise

Feed him on the offensive end. We need his strength against their height.

No because he's too much of a liability on the other end, and he doesn't have the hops to finish consistently against the Bucks.

He went to the bench for a reason and Vonleh became featured more.

Went down the bench. Not many guys with hops there. Gotta work with what you got.

True, but again, Kanter is causing us problems on defense and while he has skills around the rim, his style isn't what we are trying to run (nor are most NBA teams) so to get him the ball I think Fiz is concerned affects the offensive flow which isn't all that anyway.

He's more interested in developing players and, my guess, a system, than just getting the ball to Kanter to maybe get more offense. This is a long term project, even if it has A LOT of question marks surrounding it.

Get what you can for him. (Hopefully) He won't be here next year.

Who would’ve thought that you would have Kornet and Brook Lopez going at each other like that

These substitutions are off tonight. Is Fiz waiting for Dot and Iso to catch fire?
